Oklahoma's 108-Tackle LB Brings Dual-Threat Versatility to Texas Tech
Cord Nolan, a 6-0, 210-pound inside linebacker from Bixby, Oklahoma, commits to Texas Tech as the No. 66 LB in the 2026 cycle (On3) and No. 8 player in his state. His differentiator is rare dual-threat versatility: in 2024, he recorded 108 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, and 5 sacks while also catching 23 passes for 632 yards and 10 TDs as a receiver [2][4][7]. Nolan's quick decision-making and adaptability under pressure make him a high-intensity, culture-driven prospect who thrives in Joey McGuire's family atmosphere [5][8]. With no reported injury history and a 75 Scout Grade, he's a fit for teams needing a physical, playmaking linebacker who can also contribute offensively.
